Transformers - where to start!!

Nice winder you made there Alan. Must be great to have machining skills ... guess you had access to a lathe and a mill.

I have used the fishing reel method of letting the wire spool off the flange and as you say its very effective. I used to rewind field coils with a battery drill in the vice. Got my big foot caught in the wire once ...
